Actually it isn't just mines. I already provided my references. No one is making shit up...it is a fact, the vast majority of historians that have looked in to this have concluded that Jesus, "the man" existed, plain and simple.

And I've also did a lot of "explaining at length". So what? The explanation of your counterparts doesn't have any more virtue than I have...and if you think so, you are sadly mistaken.

There are arguments that can be made on both sides of the equation..no one is denying that...but when it is all said and done, what do most historians believe? That Jesus, the man, existed.

And maybe a "why would believers die for a lie?" thrown in for good measure. When all the strutting and posturing is over, this is all he has.
I don't recall using the Bible as historical proof in the OP. Yet another straw man.
This place is crawling with logical fallacies.

Actually, in Christianity, we are talking about the martyrdom of the original disciples...if any.

You are obviously late to the scene.

Good prediction...because I already read it when I posted it the first time, pages ago...so no further reading is necessary.
I wouldnt' exactly call you a prophet, but that was one good prediction.
